UPDATE JUNE 25: The Libraries now offer pickup by appointment services: You can put items on hold in the catalog and then schedule an appointment to pick up these items at Memorial Library.
This service is currently limited to items from Art, Law, Memorial, Music, and Wisconsin Historical Society.
Other libraries and additional pickup locations may be added later in the summer.
UW-Madison faculty, staff and students have many ways to obtain library materials.
